      The military home-front link was very interesting to me. I live very close to an army and air force joint-base, so there are many military families in and around my district, however I have never given much thought to the different types of support military families with children with special needs could really benefit from. This is a great resource!

      The link you shared, "First Signs", is a great resource. I am not familiar with this site, but from browsing through it I already have one family in mind that could benefit from this link. I am going explore it more and add it to my fav list on my computer where I save my resources. Thank you so much!

      I really enjoyed reading the article on Early Intervention. I have a child in my class that I am concerned about. I have looked at her medical exams and she passed everything, but I know that something is going on with her. I've talked to the parent and she says she doesn't see the things that I have observed in the classroom going on at home. I know that parents don't want to think something is wrong with their child, but me as a parent would want to visit and see for myself. I've approached her in every way possible. Maybe I will let her read the article for herself.
